Newly surfaced, high-definition footage captures the tense moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis protester by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
In the video, obtained by Minnesota’s Alpha News, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good can be seen seated in her Honda Pilot, smiling at the agent, Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross. “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad,” she says, as Ross records the exchange.
Her spouse, Rebecca Good, 40, is heard in the background, challenging Ross to “show his face” while questioning his intentions by asking, “You want to come at us?”
“You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy,” Rebecca adds, filming the interaction on her phone. “Go ahead.”
As the situation escalates, Good is instructed to exit the vehicle, but she chooses to disregard the command.
Instead, she revs the engine and drives away, further intensifying the encounter.
Ross’s camera then jerks. It is unclear if he was struck by the car or jumped to get out of its way.
The ICE agent fired three shots, including one through the front windshield of the Honda, that struck and killed Good.
Moments later her car crashed into the back of two cars parked nearby, with the shocking chain of events quickly dividing the United States.

Ross’s cellphone footage was unveiled just hours after surveillance footage was released, showing how Good apparently blocked the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was shot dead.
The video shows how about 20 seconds after the mother of three’s maroon Honda Pilot pulled up to the street, a passenger – believed to be her wife Rebecca Good – exited the vehicle and eventually began filming.
Good then repositioned the SUV, seemingly blocking the street. The grainy video, however, shows that other cars were still able to pass around her.
Ross then arrived on scene and was quickly joined by other federal agents who surrounded Good’s vehicle.
A federal agent began to grab at her door, allegedly ordering her to get out of the SUV. Good seemingly pulled the car forward and Ross fired three shots at her in quick succession, before she drove off.
Neither of the newly released videos show the immediate aftermath of the deadly shooting in which Good lost control at the wheel and crashed.
There is speculation that Rebecca, who admitted to bringing her spouse to the anti-ICE protest, exited the car so she could begin filming any potential clash with federal agents. She was seen wielding her camera during Ross’s confrontation with her wife but it is unclear when she first started to record.

Renee Good was shot three times in the face at a protest in Minneapolis and died at the scene
Ross has been branded a ‘murderer’ by furious Democrats but has enjoyed the full support of the Trump administration, who argue he acted in self-defense when it appeared Good intended to run him down with her car.
Good’s friends told The New York Post that the mother-of-three was part of a network of activists coordinated through her six-year-old son’s charter school who were actively resisting ICE.
According to the publication, Southside Family Charter School has publicly boasted of having a ‘social justice first’ approach to learning and ‘involving kids in political and social activism’.
Good and her wife Rebecca moved to the area just last year and enrolled their six-year-old boy in classes at the school.
They are understood to have fled the US after Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, going briefly to Canada before settling in Minneapolis.
Good is a registered voter but her party affiliation is not listed in public records. No records about Rebecca’s voting history were publicly available.
Witnesses have claimed Good and Rebecca were acting as legal observers and filming the protest.
Rebecca, in a harrowing footage captured at the scene, admitted she encouraged Good to confront agents. ‘I made her come down here, it’s my fault,’ she cried.
But Good’s mother Donna Ganger has denied reports that her daughter would have been ‘part of anything like’ the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed.

The Trump administration has repeatedly characterized the shooting as an act of self-defense and cast Good as a villain, suggesting she used her vehicle as a weapon to attack the officer who shot her.
Vice President JD Vance said the shooting was justified and Good was a ‘victim of left-wing ideology.’
‘I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it is a tragedy of her own making,’ Vance said, noting that the officer who killed her was injured while making an arrest last June.
But state and local officials and protesters rejected that characterization, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey saying video recordings show the self-defense argument is ‘garbage.’
